Back to School Skirt
H hook
Approx. 5 oz of ww acrylic yarn
I used an unmarked skein from a thrift store. I don’t know how much was in it. I
believe it was Dazzleaire yarn. I chose this yarn as I’m making Fall/Winter
things for my daughter. You can use cotton yarn instead for those of you who do
not have the colder weather.
Size: approx. a size 4
I designed this with a special stitch. The skirt is actually just a rectangle
and sewed up the back.
(If you need to increase this for a bigger size, make sure you do a multiple of
4 + 3)
Row 1: Ch 83, in 4th ch from hook do (2 dc, ch 1, 1 dc), *skip 3 ch, in next ch
work (3 dc, ch 1, 1 dc); rep from *, ending skip 2 ch, 1 dc in last ch. Ch 3,
turn.
Row 2: Under first ch 1 work (2dc, ch 1, 1 dc), *under next ch 1 work (3dc, ch1,
1 dc); rep from *, ending pat under last ch1, 1 dc in 2nd ch of turning ch. Ch
3, turn.
Row 3- 19: Repeat Row 2 for stitch pattern. Fasten off and weave in ends.
(You can make this longer for a bigger size, if you just increase the rows.)
I sewed up the seam to make the back.
I use elastic on all my daughter’s clothes. So I take the ¼ inch elastic,
measure it to my daughter and cut. Then I sew the one end into a circle. Then I
sc the elastic to the first row of the skirt. Fasten off and weave in ends.
